Volunteer Arms, Musselburgh. Commonly known as Stagg's.

I don't hold truck with the notion that a decent pub must serve food. Stagg's doesn't but does sell Seabrook crisps and they are ACE! and they permit you to take take away food in to eat if you so desire.

My votes go to:
The Waggon and Horses, Halesowen – a heady mix of great beer and random people
The Vine, Clent – Perfect spot for a mid ride beer and the hot sandwiches are magnificent
The Maverick, Amblecote, near Stourbridge – Good beer, strange people, near a good bike shop and with the added bonus of live bands as well
The Windsor Castle, Lye, near Stourbridge – Home of Sadlers brewery, great home cooked food and a perfect location for a post pub curry

Bump. I love a good pub I do 🙂

I refuse to define my favourite pub until I have seen them all. Sam Smiths pubs are oases of proper pubness in That London's Famous London though. Twice did a 21 pub Sam Smiths pub-crawl. Change from £40 too! 😀

Oops. Double post.

Yep, twice.
